Sam Lutfi is under investigation by the LAPD for allegedly drugging Britney Spears. Law enforcement sources say the Major Crimes Division of the LAPD conducting the investigation. The conservators have complained that Lutfi drugged Spears as a way of keeping her under his control. Michael Sands, Lutfi’s spokesperson, said he is aware of the investigation.
Britney Spears Will Not Attend the Grammy Awards
Posted on February 10, 2008 at 12:56 pm (PST)
On Friday Commissioner Reva Goetz ordered Howard Grossman to turn over "all documents, records and assets relating to Britney Spears" to Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, who along with attorney Andrew Wallet, is the court-appointed conservator of Brit and her estate. The court also gave Jamie and Andrew permission to fire Grossman, since he is close friends with Sam Lutfi who has been ordered by the court to stay away from Britney.
Britney has been staying out of trouble thanks to the fact her father hired a new bodyguard for Britney, and a driver, which is why we haven’t seen Britney causing a huge scene everywhere she drives. To keep herself busy Britney has been spending time at the Millennium Dance Studio in North Hollywood this weekend, and she even got a hair makeover the other day. Was she going for the grunge look? The other night Britney was asked if she would be attending the Grammy awards, she said they could “kiss her arse,” in her best British accent.
Britney Spears’ divorce lawyers, Trope and Trope, have again filed papers requesting to be removed as her counsel. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for March 10. First they want out, then they fight to stay in, now they want out again. Make up your minds. It seems now that Britney actually has someone she can trust managing her life, suddenly the drama has stopped, and all the blood suckers are running for the hills.

Britney Spears Cannot Hire Attorney
Posted on February 7, 2008 at 1:57 pm (PST)
Britney Spears attempt to retain attorney Adam Streisand have been denied due to a court order. Adam said in statement today:
"At the request of Britney Spears, Adam Streisand, a Partner at Loeb & Loeb LLP, met with her yesterday to discuss her legal rights in connection with the conservatorship over her person and estate. Following that meeting, Mr. Streisand learned that the court had issued orders that prevent Ms. Spears from retaining counsel of her own choosing, and on that basis, Mr.Streisand has decided he will not represent her at this time."
Attorney and co-conservator Andrew Wallet, and attorneys Samuel Ingham and Jeryll Cohen, have just arrived in court. Jamie Spears will arrive shortly. The hearing today is to try to get the conservatorship order enforced, so Britney Spears can get the help she needs.
Lurking in the background is Sam Lutfi, who had his new public relations rehab agent, Michael Sands, make a statement this morning:
"Sam has been providing prescription medication, cocktails is what its called for Britney’s medical issues. Sometimes the medication really doesn’t work and you have to change it and you see outrageous behavior displayed in public."
It is illegal for a non-licensed and non-medical professional to administer prescription medications to anyone. Britney needs a doctor or nurse, not some self-proclaimed healer like Sam.
Britney Spears Fight to Stay in Control
Posted on February 7, 2008 at 8:54 am (PST)
Britney Spears was released from the UCLA Medical Center psychiatric unit on Wednesday against the objection by Britney’s psychiatrist, Dr. Deborah Nadel. A "court representative" found "no just cause" to continue to hold Britney. Just cause would be if Britney posed a danger to herself, others, or property. Perhaps the court representative was born yesterday, and has never read or seen any news on Britney, or then again, maybe Chris Crocker knocked the real court rep out and let Britney go himself. The court rep needs a psych evaluation his or herself.
Britney Spears’s parents strongly objected to her discharge from the psychiatric hospital, saying they "believe her life is presently at risk."
Jamie and Lynne Spears expressed their fears in a joint statement issued Wednesday night:
As parents of an adult child in the throes of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe.
We are deeply concerned about our daughter’s safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded.
We ask only that the court’s orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted.
After going home yesterday afternoon, Britney drove around a while causing all kinds of chaos on the roads. Then she kicked a bodyguard, aka Britney sitter, her parents hired out of her car, and had a paparazzi drive her to the Beverly Hills Hotel where she met Adnan Ghalib. Adnan then drove Britney over to Adam Streisand’s office. Adam is the attorney who said he was hired by Britney to legally contest her father’s legal conservator power of her, and her estate. Adnan’s employer, Finalpixx, snuck Britney and Adnan out the back of Adam’s office.
Jamie Spears, Britney’s father, is rumored to be moving in with Britney, and the bodyguard, and as well as someone else may have been hired as Britney sitters to make sure she doesn’t associate with bad people, and doesn’t hurt herself.
Later today, Streisand is believed to be planning to petition Commissioner Reva Goetz to have an evidentary hearing to prove Britney is, indeed, mentally competent to retain her own counsel. Jamie is also expected in court, where it’s thought he’ll be asking to have the conservator’s orders enforced, so that his oldest daughter can get the medical treatment she needs.
Lurking in the background is Sam Lutfi, who hired Michael Sands, the former media consultant for Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. Sands was hired to rehab Lutfi’s image.
Britney Spears Released from the Hospital
Posted on February 6, 2008 at 2:15 pm (PST)
Britney Spears father, Jamie Spears, was spotted at the back entrance of UCLA’s Medical Center this afternoon, loading several large bags into an SUV to take Brtiney home. At this time Britney is already back at home.
UCLA doctors determined Britney did not pose the legal danger to herself or to others, such that they could continue to hold her against her will.
The conservatorship is still in place, which means daddy can help Britney manage her life, and not Sam Lutfi, who is already trying to cut deals to sell his story.
We hear Kevin Federline turned down an offer to have a reality show about being a single dad. Denise Richards should take notes on how not to exploit your kids for money.
